When Yan Yan led his troops to attack Jiameng Pass, Zhang Ren led his troops to counterattack Chengdu. However, a few days later, bad news came one after another. First, Zhang Ren's army of more than 200,000 troops was in the hills dozens of miles north of Chengdu.

The region was defeated, losing more than half

, almost at the same time, Yang Ren and Yang Ang led nearly 70,000 Hanzhong troops under their command to surrender to Xu Huang. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ren was defeated at the gate of Xichong City and retreated to the mountains. Soon after, Zhang Ren died in battle, and the remaining three

The entire army of more than ten thousand soldiers was wiped out!

Just when Yan Yan was at a loss, suddenly another messenger came to report that Pang Deshuai's 10,000 cavalry attacked Hanchang!

Yan Yan was so frightened that he could not care about anything and hurriedly commanded his 30,000 troops to return to Hanchang.

However, as soon as the soldiers and horses reached the halfway point, they encountered a sudden ambush. The army was in chaos. After a melee between the two sides, Yan Yan retreated with thousands of remaining soldiers to a nearby small county town. The county town was called Bachuan, and it was surrounded by high mountains.

A small county town with more than 10,000 people.

Zhang Lang surrounded the small town of Bachuan with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Zhang Lang came to the city gate with only a few dozen riders and shouted: "Yan Yan, come out and speak!"

After a while, the city gate opened, and Yan Yan rushed out of the city with only a few dozen horses to confront Zhang Langyao.

Zhang Lang said: "Old general, do you know the current situation?"

Yan Yan snorted coldly, "Lu Bu, you invaded Bashu for no reason, I will fight you to the death!" Yuluo then clapped his horse and wielded his sword to kill Zhang Lang, with the same posture as Zhang Ren before.

Zhang Lang sighed in his heart and urged his horse to fight. The two sides exchanged swords and halberds for five rounds. Yan Yan could no longer resist the enemy. He was horrified and secretly thought: Humanity is like "Lu Bu among men and red rabbit among horses". It is indeed well-deserved.

! Yan Yan was determined to die but was not afraid.

With all his strength, Zhang Lang slashed away Yan Yan's sword with his Fang Tian Hua Ji. Yan Yan leaned back and almost fell off his horse! As soon as he sat upright, he saw Zhang Lang suddenly running in front of him and eating.

I was startled and when I wanted to take action, I was already grabbed by the opponent and grabbed him by the armor tape.

Yan Yan's dozens of riders were frightened when they saw this and hurried back to the city. There was also a panic scene on the city wall.

Zhang Lang took Yan Yan back to the camp.

Several hussars escorted Yan Yan into the tent, "Kneel down!" one of the hussars shouted.

Yan Yan glanced at the hussar, turned his head, and ignored him. The hussar was furious and was about to take action. At this moment, Zhang Lang said: "Don't be rude, stand down!"

Zhang Lang clasped his fists and exited the tent.

Zhang Lang stood up, walked behind Yan Yan, and personally untied the rope for him. Yan Yan turned around and walked outside without saying a word. Zhang Lang quickly shouted: "Where are you going?"

"guillotine!"

Zhang Lang laughed and said, "I didn't say I wanted to kill you!"

Yan Yan turned around, glared and raised his eyebrows, shouting: "I can't surrender! Kill me quickly!"

Zhang Lang frowned, "Are you so loyal to Liu Zhang?"

Yan Yan snorted coldly, "Who is Liu Zhang? The reason why I, Yan Yan, fought on the battlefield was just for the sake of my elders in Sichuan! Now that I have been defeated, I can only apologize with death!"

Zhang Lang asked with a smile: "Does the old general think that under my governance, Central Sichuan will not be as good as Liu Zhang?" Yan Yan frowned and said nothing.

"Old General, do you know who I am?"

Yan Yan glanced at Zhang Lang and said, "Of course I know, Marquis of Wen, Lu Bu, the great hussar general of the Han Dynasty!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said: "According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, all the soldiers and horses in the world are under my command. After all, your old general is actually my subordinate!" Yan Yan thought about it and felt that this was indeed what he said.

But now that the world is in chaos, no one cares about these things. Everyone speaks based on their own strength.

"If the old general is really a loyal minister, he should not die, but should serve me! The old general is skilled in martial arts, doesn't he want to make achievements? Don't want to create a peaceful and prosperous age?"

The blood in Yan Yan's chest couldn't help but surge up.

Seeing this, Zhang Lang stepped forward to grab Yan Yan, returned to the tent, and announced loudly: "From today on, General Yan Yan will be the Sima of Yizhou and be responsible for the defense of Yizhou!"

Yan Yan was shocked, "How can this happen?"

Zhang Lang smiled and said: "I believe in the veteran general!" This simple sentence made Yan Yan particularly moved. He knelt down and said: "Veteran general is willing to do your best!"

Zhang Lang was overjoyed and helped Yan Yan up.

Yan Yan took action, and all the thousands of remaining soldiers in the city came out of the city and surrendered. Later, Yan Yan was ordered to conquer all the passes and cities in Bajun, and all of Bajun surrendered to Zhang Lang.

After successfully capturing Bajun, Zhang Lang left Xu Huang to guard Bajun while he, Yan Yan and other generals crossed the Dianjiang River and returned to Xichong City. After resting for only one night, Zhang Lang led the army to Chengdu.

In today's situation, the main force of Liu Zhang's army no longer exists. The entire northern counties of Yizhou have fallen into Zhang Lang's hands, leaving only the southern counties of Yizhou. Yizhou in this era is much larger than most people imagine, except that it includes

In addition to most of today's Sichuan Province, it also includes all of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, as well as what is now northern Myanmar, etc. The area is very vast.

Zhang Lang himself took command of Chengdu, and ordered Yan Yan and Zhang Song to command tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers to go south. In just one month, he turned the southern Shujun vassal state into a county, and captured most of Yuejun County and most of Zanggao County.

During the battle, Yan Yan and Zhang Song encountered almost no resistance. It is no wonder that the trees fell and the hozens dispersed. The overall situation in Yizhou was decided. No one was willing to sacrifice their lives for Liu Zhang whose life and death were unknown.

Subsequently, the prefects and local tribal leaders in the Nanzhong area sent envoys to Zhang Lang to express their willingness to surrender. As a result, the entire Yizhou fell completely into Zhang Lang's hands, at least on the surface.

That night, Zhang Lang stood alone in the yard, looking at the stars in the sky. Thinking back on this journey, he felt like a dream.

"General." Zhang Song's voice suddenly came from behind.

Zhang Lang recovered his thoughts and turned around, "It's Yongnian!"

Zhang Song said: "Listening to what my lord said today, it seems that he intends to take advantage of the victory and go south to Nanzhong?"

Zhang Lang nodded.

Zhang Song quickly said: "My lord, you need to think twice about this matter!"

"Oh? Why?"

"My Lord, I don't know. Nanzhong is different from other places in Yizhou. Although it is nominally under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, it actually has local barbarian autonomy. These barbarians are brave and warlike, and the environment in Nanzhong is extremely dangerous. Although the general's iron-blooded army

The combat power is strong, but it is not suitable for the environment in Nanzhong. If we use our troops rashly, I'm afraid...!"

Zhang Lang frowned slightly, showing his thoughtfulness, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Song said: "Now it is only appropriate to appease, not to use troops, and continue to implement Liu Zhang's policy!"

Zhang Lang hesitated for a moment, "I know what Yongnian means, I need to think about it!"

Zhang Song said with some worry: "The general must be cautious about this matter!"

Zhang Lang nodded, "I understand. It's getting late. Yongnian should go back and rest."
